Bully Boy Burger by ARMY NAVY Burger + Burrito = PHP 235.00

Are you hungry yet? The Bully Boy Burger of Army Navy Burger + Burrito was conceived to feed a battalion! Army Navy opened its first branch at Tagaytay on March 2009 and has conveniently now come to Makati in the spanking new Glorietta 5. We sampled a selection of their offerings from quesadillas to burritos and fries and were quite pleased with the outcome. It came as no surprise that this establishment is owned by none other than Yellow Cab who have an amazing Dear Darla Pizza.

What attracted us to this establishment initially was the eye catching colorful logo and branding. It was straight to the point and who in the world does not like burger and burritos? It intrigued us so we tried out what they had to offer.

Like Yellow Cab, the order counter was in front of their kitchen and was designed like an army bunker. Ambiance was modern and functional open design with all the piping, electrical, and lighting fixtures exposed.

Cheese Quesadilla - PHP 85.00 Net

As an appetizer we started off with the cheese quesadillas, the cheese was bland and it seemed like there was not enough cheese. While the tortilla itself was soft and gentle, most of the flavor came from the salsa. We would not order this again.

Chicken Burrito – PHP 135.00 Net

Aksana had the chicken burrito and she enjoyed this as the flavors of the spanish rice, tender chicken, beans, onions and cilantro all came together with the salsa. The slice of lime provided was so small that she only managed to squeeze a whopping three or four drops. They should provide larger slices of lime and a bigger serving salsa to fully enjoy this burrito. Did you know that burrito translated to english means a small donkey? The story is the person who invented this flour based taco sold it on the streets carried around by his donkey. While burritos are an excellent example of Mexican food outside of Mexico, they are only a common dish in northern Mexico.

Freedom Fries – PHP 60.00 Net

The shoe string fries were a crispy and tasty side dish. The paprika and herb seasoning made us gobble up these mini fries like there was no tomorrow. Perfect with mayo, or go thousand island if you like! Interesting though that the name Freedom Fries is also used at Handle Bar Makati where we normally watch the World Cup.

Bully Boy Burger – PHP 235.00 Net

The Bully Boy Burger is simply a triple quarter pounder housed within a toasted sesame seed kaiser bun. A total of 340 grams of ground beef definitely goes a long way to filling your belly. We were able to finish this off without a problem because the patties were juicy, tender and we believe the magic ingredient was Knor seasoning. The pattie itself though seemed to fall apart, possibly a result of less meat extenders such as crackers or bread crumbs which is a healthy sign. Each bite however results in the fatty jus of the meat dripping all over the place. A word of caution is be careful as it could get messy very fast.

How did you like the food at Army Navy? Was Yellow Cab’s pizza expertise translated well into burgers and burritos?
